Who we are
From web pioneers to managed IT partner.
Kishmish started in 1999 building web technology for businesses. After the dot-com crash we moved into nuts-and-bolts IT service, and in 2006 we pioneered managed IT service in the Syracuse region.
Today we run the IT behind our partners: help desk, monitoring and maintenance, security, backups, cloud, network and phones. When the business needs a website or custom software, the same people can build it, host it and keep it running.

Our philosophy
Partners first, with a personal touch.
For our founder and president, Matt Holt, our partners come first. Our managed IT services should exceed expectations, not just meet them.
Every organization is different, so we tailor solutions to what each organization actually needs and build long-term partnerships on trust, from proactive support to new technology.
Each organization is unique, so we approach every project with a personal touch, ensuring the best outcomes. At Kishmish, delivering the best solution isn’t just a goal – it’s a core value.
